fIDifIIHISTRnTIOH IS SEEKING GOVERHOR GENERAL FOR CUBA
Washington, November f>.—The government of Cuba has
given the administration much concern, and its form is not yet
definitely determined upon. Since issuing the order designating
the troops to go to Cuba, there has been considerable talk at the
war department about the probable commander of troops in
Cuba and the rganization of a government, civil and military.
The probabilities now are that Cuba will bo designated as
one department and placed under the command of one oilleer.
The general impression seems to be that the officer will he
Major General Wade, now dhalrman of the Cuban military com
mission, whose duties as a member of this commission has fitted
him for the office. The president and Secretary Alger have
great confidence in General Wade and believe 'he combines the
military and civil qualities necessary for the supremo command
in Cuba when our occupation is complete.
There have been intimations that Genera! Brooke. Who has
been In command in Porto Rico, might be selected for command
in Cuba, but such Is not the present intention. General Brooke,
who ranks all the major generals In the voluteer service, com
mands only about 3.C00 troops In Porto Rico, less than some
brigadier generals wUio are. in command of divisions, and much
less than several generals In command of corps. Tl is generally
understood that General Brooke does not care to remain any
longer In Porto Rico than the. department actually thinks his
services are required. There has been some suggestion that
General Merritt might return and take command In Cuba, but
the administration thinks the selection of General Wade would
be better.
General Wade ranks all the volunteer major generals now
in service, and would rank General Lee, in command of the
DR. HOPKINS KILLS 808 EVANS.
Tragedy Follows a Dispute in the Town
of Thomasville.
Thomasville, Ga.., November I.—(Special.)
Dr. J. S. Hopkins shot and killed Bob
Evans this afternoon, after a short quarrel
In which tho former is said to have been
the. aggressor. From the best information
obtainable. It seems tlhat the difficulty was
brought about by Evans having Instructed
Lester Corn- to say to Dr. Hopkins that
some draying whirl) Dr. Hopkins had or
dered would be a cash transaction. This
angered the doctor very much and he told
Cone that 'ho would see Evans, using some
very strong language.
Evans, William Cargill and another per
son, whose name is not known, were stand
ing on Broad street, near Pringle’s store,
wlen Dr. Hopkins approached the group.
He. addressed Evans, using some very
strong epithets. Evans told him not to
use that language again, or something to
t.iat effect.
It is here that eye witnesses, and there are
several, differ.
Some say Evans struck Dr. Hopkins, oth
ers that he struck at 'him and some that he.
drew back to strike, and then the shooting
eommetx ed. Some say three shots were
fired; others four.
Evans wheeled around and ran Into Prin
gle's store, where he fell. lie only lived
three or four minutes and never spoke. In
tthe fusllade Cargill, who was talking to
Evans about selling him some sirup, was
shot through the arm and received a slight
wound tn t'he side. The wounds were dress
ed by Dr. Mclntosh, who says they are
not dangerous.
Dr. Hopkins, when told by Mr. Cargill
that ho was hit. said that he would dress
his wounds, and added, "I was not shoot
ing at you.”
Sheriff Doss was standing on the opposite
side of the street ami saw the shooting.
Ho stepped across and placed Dr. Hopkins
under arrest. Dr. Hopkins handed the
sheriff his pistol and said lie was ready
to go with him. If- was taken to the sher
iff's office in tiie courthouse, whore, a con
sultation was held with his friends
and attorney. and lie was then
taken to jail. Dr. Mclntosh *'x
n...uie'l i:.e .lead man It. Pringle's
store and found that he was shot between
the eighth and ninth ribs in tlhe region
of the heart.
Mrs. Evans was notified and soon after
the body was placed In a vehicle and con
veyed to the home of his father. Evans
h aves a. wife ami two little children.
Bob Evans belonged to one of the oldest
families in Thomasville and was one of the
foremost and most progressive business
men of the town, being the junior member
of the well known firm of James E. Evans
X- Son. Two families are plunged into the
deepest grief. One wife mourns besidt Hr
dead imsband and the other ir. stri-ken wi'h
grief at seeing (her husband In jail, .-harged
with killing a fellow man. Dr. Hopkins is
a son of Dr. T. S. Hopkins, for many years
a trustee of the state lunatic asylum, i
brother of ex-Sonator H. W. Hopkim’ and
Captain T. N. Hopkins, of tho First Geor
gia. and a relative of Judge John L. Hop

TIIE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION: ATLANTA, GA., MONDAY, NOVEMBEB 7, 1898.
Seventh corps, although the latter will be In actual command of
tiie district of Havana.
It is probable that the department of Cuba will be divided
Into districts, some of greater and some of less importance. The
principal districts would be Mavana, Santiago and Cienfeugos.
It is probable tfnat each province will be designated as a dis
trict.
The command of the Second corps Is still unsettled. General
Lawton was at one time selected for the. place, but it was found
that two officers, at least, ranked thim, and this proved rather
unsatisfactory.
Americans Have Yellow Fever.
Havana, November 6.—J. M. Cal 1 well .and F. M. Stewart, at
tached to tiie quartermaster’s department, have bcc-n stricken
with jellow (ever. They had been occupying apartments at the
Hotel I’asage, next to those of Colotml Williams, the chief quar
termaster, who is suffering from yellow fever. Both men were
removed today to El Vedad.) fever hospital.
Following the usual pretty jealousies existing between t'he
commissioners, to which the. medical corps furnishes no excep
tion, the doctor wlho attended Caldwell and Stewart gave no
notice of their illness to the Unit'd States commissioners at El
A’edado.
Colonel Williams being ill and nobody apparently being au
thorized to assume authority in his place, Stewart, who is a clerk
In tho quartermaster's department, lacked certain attentions
tlhat only money could buy. Instead of the United States com
mission' rs being Informed, an attempt was made to collect pri
vate subscriptions to provide nurses and medicine.
Caldwell and Stewart have been ill now for several days, but
not until this morning was the fact brought to tlhe. attention of
the American commissioners, who immediately ordered Dr. Lane
to see the patients, and care for them at tiie expense of the
commissioners.
SOME SENATORS ARE ANXIOUS.
MANY CHANGES MAY BE MADE
BY TOMORROW'S ELECTIONS.
Terms of Thirty Members Are
Practically at an End and Suc
cessors Must Be Elected.
Washington, November 6.—The control of
the United States senate will be determined
very largely by the result of the elections
Tuesday, when twenty-three states cleet
legislatures, which will In turn elect sen
ators. Tho present party strength in tho
senate is as follows:
Republicans. -13; democrats, 34, populists,
6; silver republicans, 6.
This gives a majority to no one party
and it lias proved a fruitful source of doubt
hi legislation Influenced by party lines.
The terms of thirty of the present sen
ators are about to expire and in most of
these the legislatures to be. elected Tuesday
will eh i t suciussm-s. In seven eases how
ever. Jegi.sla t ur* s have already been chosen
and senators elected, viz:
Aldrich, of Rhode Island.
Daniel, of Virginia.
McComas, to succeed Gorman, In Mary
land.

Money, of Mississippi.
Frociur. ol A irmont.
And the I'-gFiature of Maine, which has
b'cn elected, but has not yet chosen a
senator. In • tregon also Simon has been
elected to fill a vacancy.
Tht so changes, already made, give a net
gam of two in th" republican—McUomas, of
Aim;, land, and Simon, of Oregon.
'l'lu i m dning twenty-three senators are
yet io be chosen. Those who are about to
retire arc:

ED ASSAULT ON LADY.

Prisoner and Firing Commenced.
One Man Was Killed.
Augusta. Ga.. November 2.—(Special.)—A
negro named Will Robinson is in .h'll.
eharged with attempting assault upon Mrs.
R. S. Walker at an early hour tills morn
ing. Mrs. R. S. Wa’.kor lives nt 1720 Wal
ton way and works at the Standard Lumber
Company; bo loaves home early every
morning to go to his work. After he left
home this morning Mrs. Walker went into
an outhouse in the yard She was followed
(hire by the negro Robinson, who pointed
a pistol at het head, commanding her to be
sll.-nt and made an outrageous proposal to
her.
Mrs. Walker was frightened almost Into
a. spasm, but filially persuaded the man to
go away, after giving him a quarter, all
the money she had with her. As soon aS
io- bad gone Mrs. Walker gave the alarm
and the hies of i>olb o was notified. Several
officers were at on<’c sent out Io hunt for
the scoundrel and tho entire force put on
tile lookout.
They quickly got on his trail, traced him
to Givlnuett street out toward tho old toll
gate, whore lie was caught. He was at
once carried to headquarters and Mrs.
Walker was sent for. Tho chief of police
had the man placed In a room with several
others, so tho lady could point out her as
sailant. Without, the slightest hesitation
she pointed to Robinson and sa.id she posi
tively identified him.
This identitlc-ition was made completely
by .. peculiarity In the negro's speech,
caused by tho absence of some of his front
teeth a:el a. slight stuttering. The negro
was then hustled off to jail. In mean
time hts house on South Boundary ‘treot
ha:- b..a visited by the offiers and It w.-ie
found that after attempting the assault
tiie scoundrel had hurried home, chang'd
ids clothes and laid aside a pistol. 'A en
th" negro entered the Walker bouse this
morning he brought with him a. basket
which liad been stolen from tho pantry
s' uno t.me ago with provisions and the sur
mise Is that he camo to steal more, and
lii.dlng Mrs. Walker alone, attempted his
assault on her.

DEATH OF THOMAS R. K. COBB.
Brilliant Young' Georgian Died Last

Thomas R. R. i'obb. the brilliant young
Georgian who had b< en ill wll’n consump
tion for many months past, died at Coio
! rado Springs, Col., early last Wednesday
mendi'g.
I ertiaps nowhere In the state was the
telegram announcing hl" death received
with such sorrow as in Athens, t'hc home
of Ms childhood, the home of the Cobbs
for geicr 11 ions past, vv iierc ho attended
school and college ami was loved by all.
Several months ago he gave up his prac
i tlce in tills city and went to Florida with
j ills wife and family to live, thinking that
I tiie change of climate would be bene
| fieial t> ills condition. He felt no iinprove
: ment, however, after a stay of several
i weeks in that state, and then be determined
i to go wo* am! lin 'liy decided to reside in
■ Colorado Springs, C»i.
His father. Judge Howell Cobb, of
Athens. Is one of the ablest jurists In the
state, having retired from the active prac
tice of law, and is now at tho head of the
law school at the I niversity of Georgia.
Judge Cobb was devot'd to bls son and
th" news of ills death was a grievous stroke
to him.
Tom Cobb was tho grandson of Howell
■ Cobb, 111" sp‘ ik'r of tin- house of repre-
I renia.tivi'S, and a grand nephew of T. R.
' R. Cobb, for whom h" was named, one
. of Hie bravest gi nerals in the confederate
■ army. 'L was als< a grand nephew of
I Mrs. Dr. J. M. Johnson and Mrs. L. J.
! Glenn.

remain; of Mr Thomas R. R. <'obb were
laid to re.-t this afternoon .it 3 o'clock in
I Oconee cerm terv beside tho grave of his
I grandfa.th'f. Gem ral Howel! Cobb.
From Atlanta, c: me sev. ral beautiful

those of the Chi Bid fraternity and cf
('amp Walker. United Confederate Vet
erans. The lloral tributes from Athens
vv. re oxqult-ite. among tie m !"■ rg a beau

Tie re was a most aff-etlng scene at the
grave when Mrs. Howell <’iJib. mother of
tiie departed young man. laid a. wreath of
roses upon Ills casket and bowed her head
upon them In sib-nt grief.
(t w.s a soil nitl and pathetic scene and
th ire wore no dry eyes In the large s

pay their last tribute of affection to the
memory of the brilliant young man.
MANUFACTURING IN GEORGIA.
Editor Constitution: I wis much grati
fied by C '.uncl W. A. Hemphill's forceful
art! in last week’s (’ons’iturlon on the
subject of inanufact’iring. While the Con
st itiKion has been, for many years, a power
1 in the land, I am pleased to see of late a
! strong Interest in mat< rial dev(?lopment.
Diversified manufacturing is tiie one taing
! necessary to insure prosperity In Georgia,
i That we now do ? •metliing only empha
sizes the fact that w can do more. The
i truth is we have for years lived for beiow
our oppoi’tur • u 1 ti 1 • many
■ things v. •• ought to have <lone, but w«* are
I still young ind vigorous, and to mend our
i ways spi edily is the heig it of wisdom.
! The pertinent question is what shall we
j do ami how shall we do it.
i Tim answer is—make everything we use
and all we can sell profitably. But the next
question arises, can we manufacture profit
ubly? This goes without a} tug H would
be equally a pertinent to ;isk if we can
rait " sweet potn toes in Georgia.
Years ago when <he south seriously em
barked in cotton manu! act uring, our New
England friends told us, in it pa I runizing
way that we might succi sfiillv make brown
sheetings and brown drills, but this was
said with an implied if. The la a tip, on
years have demonstrated that in all coarse
and medium goods, brown and colored, wo
are on top. and I venture to siD' ,liat Gm
next twenty years will make the Piedmont
section of th.- south the leading cotton sec
tion of the United States.
But e< i ton milling in Georgia, no longer
m eds coddling. The infant has dropped its
swaddling cloth and now stands forth
stripped for Hie fig'ht; strong of ttriii, clean
of limb, keen of eye and dear ot h id.
ready to meet all <om<rs. But tin Ching
that now eone.rns us i what els- ■anvv ■
do, i confidently answer- we cm sue.' -s
--fu'.ly and profitably manufacture anv thlna
wo use from cutton mill machinery < i a
cambric needle; from a leather licit to a
shoe string: from tin- most elegant parlor
furniture to a cheap pine table, in laet (lie
thousand and one tilings made ot iron,
wood, cotton, wool, leather, etc. But th'' I
question mav arise, especially in Ch" mind
Os a doubting Thomas, as co profit In ■• |
doing. He may say i do nut understand ;
ti IS oil'll I" and 1 :ni afraid ol failure.
Thi.; >s all right; it tak.s a scar. .I light to
. ~,,..,..1 vi lory. Brave men have fears,
1..,. tbo 1». n I',.U rule the world darn lo .
.10, and g. fi-rally sue. eed The man In this
w rid wtio uttempcs nothing except that
which he knows will live unknown and
.ti unsung.
Tin- one man on earth that always m.ikos
his neighbor; Clred is the pessimist. He is
IO my mind the devil’s representative, put
I,ere to disarm and destroy human liappi- i
res-- He sets by the wayside; l)e stands
o'n the street c. I .er; he has a promim nc
seat in chun n, and al all times .md in all
plm-.s, he times io w'nin.-’’Man was
made t" mourn.
But to conw back to business. Can we in
Georgia manufacture iron produe<s. cloth
ing, shoes, hats, furniture, etc., with profit.
Ot’ course we can. There is nothing on
earth made or sold without a legitimate
average proti(. Av- i igi kt I ■ 1 1 give sil
I'-rior profits. Tint. > alv.;i abundiUlt
